So Close To The End
Only three more blogs to go after this one before I have fulfilled my new year's resolution for 2015. I have made an effort in the past few days to go back and add content to the entries that are a little lacking. I haven't fully checked but I reckon that are at least 20 entries that have no subject matter at all and that's before we even get to the stupid 250 word minimum that I foolishly imposed. It seems unlikely that I will address those before 2016. But I merely vowed to write a blog every day for a year. I didn't say anything about content.
I hope the very few readers of this blog haven't been short changed, anyway. Having reviewed the entries earlier this year, I'm kind of pleased that I maintained enough interest at least initially to write pieces of a reasonable length. As you may have read, the past few months have been something of a slog.
As my friend Chris said, it was understandable that I might set myself a challenge or preoccupy my time with writing when I was working very few hours a week. When you're working five days a week, your life naturally resolves around that a good deal more. It's one of the reasons why I won't be looking to replicate the feat in 2016*. But I know that if I don't attempt to impose some sort of framework, I won't do it at all. I have a tentative plan to write 3-4 entries a week and hopefully I'll find enough of interest outside of the world of bookmaking to discuss.
